Fun factoid from my weather station:

Temperature at 12:14PM on the 10th December 2025 : 13.0C (dew 10.6)

Temperature at 12:14PM on the 10th June 2026 : 12.8C (dew 10.3)

Cherry-picked, I know, and of course there's a time difference, but uncommon if not rare to see here! No complaints, I'll save those for when the default warm/humid conditions return.

Below is a crude graph I created showing a 7 day moving average (daily) rainfall (for period May to Sept) for one of the nearest Met stations close to me (Athenry, for those that might be interested) This station has only been in operation since 2010, so the record only spans 15 years, but still, a story is emerging regarding the 'European Monsoon'. As Retron suggest a few days back, there does seem to be an increase in rainfall amounts towards the end of the June period, on average at least, while rainfall amounts increase more generally towards late July and into the first half of August. Of course, this is data only from the west of Ireland, so being on the front lines of the Atlantic war,  actual amounts will be more 'enhanced' that say the UK and even eastern parts of Ireland. But the general trend will likely be somewhat similar across the board.

Currently 15.1 °C with a brisk SW wind and spits of drizzle that for some will be a luxurious, mild salve to be savoured.  Not for me though.

Really wish this wind would F off. The first mostly sunny afternoon we get and it's ruined by a near gale wind.
